Second, ok, so some people can ride too fast for the trail using their own power, and they shouldn't do that. How is that an argument for putting fast powered vehicles on trails?
Ok how about this. Little Susie is riding 5 mph on her sidewalk bike. A regular cyclist is riding 15. Their difference in speed is 10 mph. Or a racer boy doing 20 and a special built E-bike going 30. Again the difference in speed is 10 mph. Same difference!!!!!!
